[email protected] with JAMES

Question

I just installed JAMES (Java Apache Mail Enterprise Server) and I am trying to use this as a mail server.

I am trying to create a mail ID [email protected] and I want it to receive a mail from [email protected] and save it on to a database.

I already made the connection and I can save it in the database.

My main problem is how to create the mail ID [email protected].

How can I do that ?

Answer 1

localhost is not a domain and so you can't create www.localhost.com

localhost is not accessible on a remote host. You can only access it locally via http://localhost

You will require a domain name for a mail server.

You can create a free domain name for testing purpose as explained in this article
